We’re heading towards the dog days of summer and most of us are still working from (and will likely be doing so for the foreseeable future). If you’re worried about overheating at your home office because your AC doesn’t work so well, or maybe you just want something to circulate the air in your room, a desk fan is a great solution. And frankly, you can get a great one for very cheap.
Arctic Breeze Mobile

A number of our colleagues have this portable USB-powered desk fan. It has a short flexible neck, and can plug directly into your desktop or laptop. The blades are exposed, but they’re not sharp or hard, and they don’t spin fast enough to hurt you.
Opolar F401 Mini

This is a larger and sturdier USB-powered fan. It can plug it directly into your laptop or docking station and it’ll just work. No need for an outlet and a long power cord.
